S

tudents for Israel (SFI) at Wayne
State University is a pro-Israel
group on campus that helps
foster a better understanding of
what Israel is and what it stands for.
SFI held successful events earlier
this year, such as Israel Week, to
promote positive dialogue about
Israel on campus.
Recently, SFI held a program
called F#@% - Up Night, with the
purpose of letting students know
that failure is necessary for success.
Mistakes teach us invaluable les-
sons, show us right from wrong and
help us develop as people.
This SFI event featured speakers
Tzvi Raviv, Tal Navarro and David
Yarus.
Raviv, Yoga Shelter CEO, is driven
to help build and improve communi-
ties through the teaching of yoga.
Navarro, an Israeli social media
expert, founded a social media
marketing company that teaching
businesses and organizations how
to utilize social media.
Yarus created and founded a
dating app called J-Swipe and a
social creative agency called Mllnl
(Millennial) that aids global and non-
profit organizations. He is inspired by
millennial empowerment and human
connection.
Raviv talked about how hard it
can be to stay focused. “You have
to have a routine, something that
you can do no matter how bad your
day was and how bad you feel,” he
explained. While he prefers working
out, everyone has something they
can do every day to keep them on
track.
“Even when I was at my worst,
usually when I made bad busi-
ness choices or had personal
issues, I kept my routine,” Raviv
said. “Keeping my routine kept me

focused and determined to accom-
plish my long-term goals.”
In business, we often work with
other people or have business part-
ners. Navarro told us one of the
earliest mistakes she made was
picking the wrong partner. Early in
her career, she married a man who
helped her create an online store.
Unfortunately, things didn’t work out
and he took the company.
“I was left with almost nothing; I
had to start over on my own,” she
said. “If I learned anything it was to
pick the right partner in business
and in life. In a way, you should be
able to trust your business partner
like your significant other.”
When Yarus spoke, he alluded to
his long list of mistakes. “Yeah, I’ll let
you guys know my speech is prob-
ably going to be the longest,” he
warned. “I am successful because
I put myself out there; I know that
most of the time I am going to fail,
but I don’t let it stop me.
“I don’t want you to ever think that
failure and success are two separate
things; they come hand and hand.
When I created J-Swipe it was a
joke between friends, but now I
think you see how that joke turned
out.”
It is advice like this that helps
aspiring college students accom-
plish their goals and realize they do
not have to stress over every little
mistake. I hope this event helped
students welcome their failures and
understand that the failures they
encounter can help give them tools
to become successful. @
